pc-bios/s390-ccw: Don't use __bss_start with the "larl" instruction
start.S currently cannot be compiled with Clang 16 and binutils 2.40: ld: start.o(.text+0x8): misaligned symbol `__bss_start' (0xc1e5) for relocation R_390_PC32DBL According to the built-in linker script of ld, the symbol __bss_start can actually point *before* the .bss section and does not need to have any alignment, so in certain situations (like when using the internal assembler of Clang), the __bss_start symbol can indeed be unaligned and thus it is not suitable for being used with the "larl" instruction that needs an address that is at least aligned to halfwords. The problem went unnoticed so far since binutils <= 2.39 did not check the alignment, but starting with binutils 2.40, such unaligned addresses are now refused. Fix it by loading the address indirectly instead.
